Here the concrete roadway curves along a forested mountain slope, following the land instead of forcing a straight line through it. Skyline Drive was built in the 1930s along the crest of the Blue Ridge, as the Shenandoah National Park took shape, and Civilian Conservation Corps crews did much of the work. Engineers designed the road's curves and bridges to fit the terrain, so drivers could enjoy long views of the ridges on either side. The result treats the landscape itself as the main attraction.
